"Mr President, frankly we should thank Mr Farage for his contribution to the Irish campaign. His singular style of post-colonial jingoism certainly served to recruit several of the Irish republicans to the pro-Treaty cause.
Stranger still, though, is the complete absence from that campaign of the British Tory Party, who were skulking behind the petticoats of Declan Ganley and President Klaus. The fact is that the Conservative Party stands all on its own as a prospective party of government that is still opposing this great qualitative step forward in European integration.
Consider the absurdity of the Eurosceptics, because opposing Lisbon means sticking with the current Treaty of Nice and the present rather clumsy and opaque – and too often ineffective – Union that fails to respond to public demand and to global challenges. Britain deserves much better than the Conservative Party, and Europe certainly needs more."@en1
